Thanks to Alan, the creator of the Joomla! logo, a Brand Guide is now available. There are also a variety of  logos that you can use, available in multiple graphic formats for you to downlad. More will be added to over time.

The Brand Guide contains a number of important design points and it is important that you review this guide before creating any graphics of your own that incorporate the Joomla! logo.

Joomla's newest addition to the Core Development team, Marko Schmuck, is a recognised leader in Open Source Software.

Marko, who lives in Berlin, Germany, is known for his work as a former core member at XOOPS. He was responsible for dev.xoops.org, the XOOPS Forge. He also had his own open source project called RCP (Reseller Control Panel).

Marko will be a Joomla project leader, creating Standards and Guidelines for Third Party Developers (3PDs). Marko hopes his involvement with Joomla! will raise the level of code standards and help developers improve their skills.
